How many plants can you cram into a hanging basket?
How many plants can you cram into a hanging basket?
I have 48 lobelia and impatiens plug plants, thanks to Wilko's 2 for 1 offer How many is it realistic to get into 30cm hanging baskets?
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
Don't do metric but for a 12" basket I normally put in
1 upright Fuchsia or Geranium in the middle
3 trailing Fuchsia's or Geraniums
3 trailing petunia's
Then any gaps - Lobelia plug (at least 6)
I don't normally plant in the sides of the basket as they wouldn't get any light
If it's a bigger basket I plant in 5's and smaller ones I just grow 3 Fuchsia's or Geraniums these are always 1 variety and normally make the stock plant for the following year
